The Netgear Orbi range of Mesh Wi-Fi systems is arguably the best on the market, and the most reviewed Mesh System on Amazon. I have previously reviewed the Netgear Orbi RBK23 and loved it, I still use it for my Wi-Fi now as it offers more than enough performance for my needs. One of the…
Netgear’s Orbi Mesh Wi-Fi system is arguably the best Mesh Wi-Fi system on the market to date. They have continued to improve it over the years and have introduced multiple systems to meet different price points. I personally use the Orbi RBK23 system and can vouch for how good it is. At CES 2019, Netgear…
Arlo has expanded their range of wireless outdoor security cameras further with the introduction of the Arlo Ultra. The wireless camera features a 4K Ultra HD resolution sensor with high dynamic range (HDR) and comes with a built-in spotlight that can place a bright beam on anyone who moves in front of the device. As far as…
Most routers in the past several years have used the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, but this is getting long in the tooth now, especially as more devices use Wi-Fi than ever, and the performance demands have increased exponentially with the likes of media streaming and cloud data. IEEE 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6 is the technology that…
Having recently reviewed the excellent Zyxel Multy X mesh wifi system I thought it would be worth comparing it to the market leader, the Netgear Orbi. With the growing number of Mesh Wi-Fi options on the market, each manufacturer approaches the problem at a different angle. For example, the BT Whole Home Wi-Fi is one…
**Update 27/04/2018 – after using the switch for a few weeks now, I have updated the review in regards of its reliability. I have had no issues with it since set up, but I do find the app a bit slow to load and recognise my devices** During my trip to MWC in Barcelona this…
Earlier in the year, I comprised a list of the available mesh router options comparing prices and reviews. I recently updated the list, and there were 3 stand out options the BT Whole Home Wi-Fi, Netgear Orbi and Linksys Velop. I was curious to explore the features of each router for a possible Wi-Fi upgrade…
If you are interested in improving your home security, there has never been a better time to do it. There is a huge range of options including totally wire-free, POE and mobile data enabled; there is also an option for all budgets. Netgear Arlo has been an excellent option for larger budget hassle-free installations, while…
I have previously used the excellent Arlo Go, but it has a high initial cost and then a monthly fee. However, if you are looking for a more affordable option, then Realink could have the perfect solution for you, with the imaginatively named Reolink Go. Functionally it offers the same sort of features as the…
Netgear has established themselves as one of the market leaders in smart home security cameras with their Arlo range. I have previously reviewed the Netgear Arlo Q which is the indoor based camera from Netgear. The utterly wire-free battery-powered indoor/outdoor version is where they established themselves though. The original Arlo must have been one of…
Last year I hardwired large parts of my house, relocating my server from my office to a spare room. I have used the budget-friendly Netgear GS108Ev3 Smart Managed Plus switches which are decent for general use while offering some good managed switch functionality. However, I have had quite a few issues with file transfer speed,…
Following my review of the excellent Blink XT, I was quite excited to try out the Canary Flex. Priced at £199 it is a premium looking product with some promising features that could justify the extra cost over the Blink XT or the identical cost of the Netgear Arlo. The device itself is quite attractive…
